Bexar County selected Accela Inc. as a way to streamline the county government's permitting and inspection processes for infrastructure along county roads.

The value of the contract was not disclosed.

Bexar County will use the company's Accela Automation system to provide Public Works staff, local residents and the development community with a Web-based system that could speed up the development of driveways and utilities along county roads.

The county manages as many as 7,000 permit applications related to the installation of driveways and utilities. By adopting Accela's applications and system, Bexar County will be able to give residents the ability to apply for and obtain permits over the Internet.

Accela Automation works with a range of other county applications.

Accela GIS allows county employees to create and store geographic information system maps in a centralized database. Accela Wireless gives county employees the ability to conduct field inspections, code enforcement, work orders and fill service requests from a laptop, tablet PC or PDA.

And Accela Citizen Access provides real-time data via the Internet to agency permit and land-management activities. This will give residents the ability to pay for permits, schedule inspections, check the status of a permit or inspection, or print an approved permit directly from the Internet.

San Ramon, Calif.-based Accela develops Web-based enterprise software that automate land, permit and asset-management processes for local, state and federal government agencies.
